Language and Communication Following Stroke (St. Paul, Minnesota)
Aphasia means the stroke survivor has problems understanding language and speaking. He or she may be unable to find the right words or put sentences together. Just because the stroke survivor has problems using language, doesn't mean he or she can't think clearly.
During this free Kenny Grad School session, a speech pathologist from Sister KennyŽ Rehabilitation Institute will discuss how stroke affects communication and ways for stroke survivors and their caregivers to better understand each other.
Kenny Grad School: 2009 Stroke Lecture SeriesThis is part of Sister KennyŽ Rehabilitation Institute's education series for stroke survivors and their care partners. From January to November 2009, programs from 2 to 3:30 p.m. on the third Tuesday of the month address topics related to recovery and living life after a stroke. All are welcome to attend.
